So excited about this! I love the look of this zombie series set in London. It reminds me a bit of The Tribe (did anyone else watch that as a kid?) but with zombies. And obviously adding zombies to anything makes things better.

To celebrate the release of the final book in the series, The Fallen, one lucky reader will receive all 5 books in The Enemy Series, courtesy of Disney Hyperion!

About the series

When the sickness came, every parent, policeman, politician – every adult fell ill. The lucky ones died. The others are crazed, confused and hungry.

Only children under fourteen remain, and they’re fighting to survive.

A gang of children begin their quest across London, where all through the city – down alleyways, in deserted houses, underground – the grown-ups lie in wait.

Giveaway time! I’ve just finished reading the first book in this series and I can’t wait to see what happens next. Here’s the description of the first book:

On the night Malcolm and Maud Angel are murdered, their daughter, Tandy, knows just three things: 1. She was one of the last people to see her parents alive. 2. She and her brothers are the only suspects. 3. She can’t trust anyone – maybe not even herself. Having grown up under their parents’ intense perfectionist demands, none of the Angel children have come away undamaged.

Tandy decides that she will have to solve the crime on her own, but digging deeper into her powerful parents’ affairs is a dangerous game. As she uncovers haunting secrets and slowly begins to remember flashes of disturbing past events buried in her memory, Tandy is forced to ask: What is the Angel family truly capable of?

Hot Fuzz will always be a movie with a lot of memories for me: it’s the first movie I saw in the cinema after moving to London with a bunch of strangers I now consider close friends.

I love my pair of BassBuds headphones; since I got them, they’re pretty much the only pair of headphones I use (here’s my review from a few months back).

I’ve also just gotten their latest gadget the BassBoomz (a cute bluetooth speaker) which I’m totally loving at the moment.

Time to announce the winners of the latest two MissGeeky Giveaways! You guys left some great comments on both posts with your favourite scifi movie and the create your own movie challenge. So who won?

The first giveaway winner was drawn randomly and will receive two Babylon 5 DVDs: The Gathering and The Lost Tales.

Drumroll, please! The winner is:

Jane!

With the comment:

I once wrote to Patrick Stewart to ask him to do a book signing at the retail shop I used to run. He refused as he didn’t have the time but was so lovely about it. How could anyone not adore him?

With the second giveaway I was giving away two copies of Skyfall, one of which was for the “best”/most creative/fun answer and one of which was drawn randomly.

Drumroll, please! The first winner is:

Steve!

With his comment:

Easy. It would be about a chainsaw wielding gang of giraffes called ‘The Long Horses’ who run riot around London bumping into people without apologising, standing on the left of the escalators, asking for Big Macs in Burger King and so on. Turns out they are simply misunderstood and are protesting the lack of tall, edible trees in the city and they just want equality for all giraffes.

I’d have Tom Selleck play the lead giraffe.

And the second winner is:

Jo!

With her comment:

I’m no good at thinking up movie ideas – something kick ass and inspiring, something you could watch to cheer you up, or motivate you. Maybe something with FemShep 🙂

Congrats to all the winners and enjoy your prizes! For those of you that didn’t win, why not try out my latest giveaway for The Way of Shadows by Brent Weeks?

Skyfall was one of my favourite movies of last year. It had fun action sequences, an awesome villain and a great story. Plus I just love Daniel Craig as Bond. I wouldn’t be surprised if Skyfall wins Outstanding British Film at the BAFTAs. I’m also rooting for it to win Best Cinematography at the Oscars, cause I loved how it was shot.

Thanks to Appliances Online I’m giving away two Blu-ray copies of Skyfall! To enter the competition leave a comment behind answering:

if you could create your own movie, what would it be about?

Be creative, be original, be fun! The winner with the “best” answer will win one of the two copies. The other one will be drawn at random. You’ll also get a second entry if you’re following me on Twitter and tweet about this giveaway with the hashtag #missgeeky. The competition is only open for UK residents and will end on Friday 15th 15:00.

Time to announce the winners of my two Christmas Giveaways! There were some great comments left behind on both posts with your favourite musicals and favourite Christmas presents. I bet you’re all curious to hear who’s won…

The first giveaway winner will receive a Les Miserables Gift Pack, which includes the Les Mis movie soundtrack, a $25 Visa gift card, a t-shirt and a journal.

Drumroll, please! The winner is:

Rachel!

She left a comment behind about her favourite musical:

How can I only choose 1? I have 3 that immediately spring to mind – and they’re all slightly comedic ones rather than anything serious. So Who Wants to be a Millionaire from high Society and 2 from Singin’ In the Rain – Make ‘Em Laugh and Singin In the Rain. Given my faves are all comedic, really looking forward to how they are going to present Master of the House!

The second giveaway winner will get a copy of Redshirts by John Scalzi.

And the winner is:

Elisa Nuckle!

Her comment was:

I got a spiffy ergonomic keyboard this year, and it’s been awesome for my wrists, which do trouble me sometimes. Also a new Kindle cover that is perfect. I hear great things about this book and have been meaning to pick it up. 🙂

Congrats, to both winners! Your prizes will be with you soon. Enjoy! For those of you that didn’t win, why not try out my latest giveaway for Babylon 5 DVDs?
